The event partners of Greater Anderson Days have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 event, scheduled for July 24-26.

“Considering the health and well-being of all of our event participants, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, partners, and musicians, we believe it is prudent to cancel this year’s event,” said Doug Boettner, President of the Anderson Foundation for Parks and Recreation.

Ken Kushner, Executive Director of the Anderson Park District and Greater Anderson Days Committee Chair, said, “Social distancing is the new norm and large gatherings are not something we want to encourage at this point in the COVID-19 response. The decision to cancel was tough, but it is the responsible thing to do.”

This would have been the 22nd annual Greater Anderson Days celebration. The threeday event features live music, games, rides, a delicious array of food, and a fireworks finale by Rozzi’s Famous Fireworks, courtesy of the Beechmont Automotive Group.

Plans are underway for the 2021 Greater Anderson Days event, scheduled for July 23, 24, & 25 at Beech Acres Park.
